.-. -u ., ■ ^W'-'M Councilors chastised byjangry delegation Stories by RUDY LANGMANN LANGLEY - Councillors on the Murrayville Hill were taken to task this week for their spending habits. "Most taxpayers are stretched to the limit and they expect to be properly informed as to where and how their tax dollars are spent," a local realtor told the silent councillors. "The very idea of three new theatres or cultural centres being planned for various locations throughout Langley is contrary to my notion of common sense," Cathy Klompas said. "Obviously, one large multi-purpose facility, paid for and built in phases, would best serve the whole community." Klompas instead urged a joint effort by the three independent political jurisdictions of Langley township, Langley city, and the Langley school district. It was sheer lunacy, she said, for each of the three groups to proceed independently with plans of their own. "From a taxpayer's point of view it appears as though each of these three groups of elected officials have their own separate agendas, assuming they each have the exclusive use of tax dollars," she said. "I suggest we pool our resources and build a large cultural centre in the heart of Langley - and like it or not, the heart of Lan- 'Clearing the air' MURRAYVILLE - Thrice, Monday night, lawyer-councilor Steve Burton "cleared the air" in council chambers by defending his'own role and that of fellow council member Heather McMullan in promoting a huge cultural Digging up trouble?

Laotians decide to take back Inthavong By MONIQUE GALAZKA VANCOUVER - Convicted criminal Bounjan Aai Inthavong, could be deported to his native country of Laos as early as next week. It was a surprising turn of events at Inthavong's Detention Review Hearing, when Review Officer Elaine Liebelt was told by Case Presentation Officer John Gardener, that travel documents will be issued by the Laotian government for Inthavong and two other convicted Laotian criminals in Canada. This is a precedent setting case because it is the first deportation from Canada to Laos, and it is the first time a convicted criminal, guilty of less than murder, is being deported. Inthavong was found guilty of Aggravated assault in the 1990 beating and shooting death of 18 year-old Abbotsford resident Kirby Martin, and was sentenced to five years in jail. It was expected at this hearing that Inthavong would be released from custody if it could not be shown that immigration officials were making progress with the deportation talks. It was confirmed however, that the Canadian Ambassador in Thailand met with Laotian officials, and that travel documents would be issued in early July. Canadian Immigration Control has now written a letter to the Laotian Embassy in Washington D.C, formally requesting the papers. In that letter the names of all officials involved, except Daniel Jean, Director of Immigration Control International Service, had been blanked out. Inthavong's lawyer Chris Elgin, did not make any submissions to Liebelt, but did say that he would be more impressed if the letter came from the Embassy rather than Immigration Control, and that he is not impressed that names had been erased. Liebelt stated that it had been well established at previous Detention Review hearing that 'System', page 23 FREE!

Klompas also suggested that two members of council, because of possible conflict of interest, refrain from "speaking on, promoting, or passing opinions on the cultural centre" presently being studied by a task force for Uie Murrayville area. Later, councillors said they had tried, but failed, to get cooperation from the two other authorities.

VICTORIA - MLA Lynn Stephens tabled a private member's bill Monday that would make education an essential service, a B.C. Liberal policy. The amendment to the Labour Relations Code could be invoked in. the event of a dispute that poses a threat to the economy of the province, or to health, safety, welfare or education. The bill gives the labour minister the option to call for a 40-day cooling off period or designate service as essential, and these orders would ban strikes and lockouts. "There have been 2-million (student) hours lost to strike action since 1991," Stephens said. "That is why we need this legislation." Council getting greedy By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - City council may turn away a multi-million dollar retail development if they are not careful. At Monday's meeting, council directed staff to go back to the developer of the proposed retail site at 1100 Sumas Way, which would include Zeller's and three other large retail operations, and negotiate for more money to meet the municipal requirements of the off-site costs. Chard Developments has already agreed to all the provincial upgrades required for the site and offered the following to the municipality: $128,000 for the completion of McConnell Road to Riverside Road (15.6% of the cost of its completion); the provision of on-site storm water detention (about half of the amount required to be detained under current detention requirements); to dedicate and construct to an interim standard east-west road along the site's north lot line; and to provide an easement to allow cars to travel through the parking lot to the north lot line road. Staff called this offer considerably less than what they had originally asked, and said it does not meet current municipal standards. A relaxation of the standards will open the door for similar requests from other developers. Staff's recommendation to council was to maintain the requirement of Subdivision and Development bylaw no 41-95. Council passed the motion and asked staff to go back to the developer and negotiate for more of the requested off-site development costs. At that point a spokesperson for Chard Development stood up and told council point blank that they are already putting $2.2 million in off-site costs into this development and they don't have any more money, and for council not to ask for more, because they won't get it. Council debated the issue for some time but would not change their minds. It was suggested by one councillor that, through land taxes on the development, the extra costs could be made up for within a year. Other councillors argued that taxpayer's dollars should not be put towards this development although the upgrades from the works done would benefit everyone in the community, not just the development. It was also argued that through the creation of jobs and increased business in the area, the development of the roads would be a small price to pay for the future benefits to the city. Councillor Patricia Ross summed it all up when she said that 'Abbotsford Council is getting quite the reputation for being difficult to deal with.'

There were 155 people injured in train accidents in 1994, and 54 people were killed. Statistics remain mostly unchanged for the past ten years. Norman Witzell said, "We never hit the same person twice, which means there's always another one to take their place. People have to be more aware of the clangers of railway crossing on CN property". -Tim Attwood photo Railroads get tax break summer sizzier MURRAYVILLE - Canada's two major railways have managed to convince the provincial government in Victoria that they are pay- ing too much tax in British Columbia and that this is making their operation uneconomic. As a result, the provincial legislature has introduced an initiative that will alter the way in which railway properties are assessed and taxed, reducing the assessments. The legislation will cut the provincial levy of about $45-million almost in half, and in return for this proposed deal, the CN and CP have indicated that they may invest the savings in the province. Victoria has promised, at least for the first year, to funnel the shortfalls back to the municipalities from school taxation, and Premier Mike Harcourt has indicated that "no jurisdiction is expected to bear an excessive burden as a result of Uiis initiative." "A poor approach to problem solving," says the Union of B.C. Municipalities. "Local government wasn't asked to be part of the solution (and) has been defined as 'the problem' to be fixed." It is another intrusion by the provincial government on local autonomy, says the UBCM executive.

Liberal MLA Wilf Hurd has called for change in the Family Court system to guarantee estranged fathers the access to their children that courts have said they are entitled to. Speaking in the B.C. Legislature during private member's statements, the MLA from Surrey-White Rock tabled letters and court orders from six B.C. fathers who are totally frustrated with the current system. "This issue first came to my attention after I was visited by a constituent, who has been trying for years to exercise a court order, Free ... at last VANCOUVER - Tax freedom day was three days earlier in British Columbia this year, the Fraser Institute reports. The Vancouver-based think tank said British Columbians started working for themselves on June 23. That is Ave days later than the Canadian average of June 18 and more than a month later than the relative tax havens of Nova Scotia (May 18) and Newfoundland (May 20). "Tax Freedom Day is, effectively, the day when the average Canadian family starts working for itself," said Dr. Michael Walker, the institute's executive director. which guarantees him access to his children," said Hurd. "In discussing the issue with family lawyers, I was amazed to learn that the inability to enforce access orders on behalf of fathers is a routine and troubling occurrence." Typically, the father will be granted a court order but if the former spouse refuses to honor it, there is very littie redress under the current system. If the father takes the court order to the RCMP, the detachment will usually decline to become involved in what is perceived to be a domestic dispute. "Family law experts acknowledge the scope of the problem, but add that only by persistence and wracking up thousands of dollars in legal bills, can a father be successful in finally accessing his children," said Hurd. "The real losers are the children," said Hurd. "In one case, a father advised my office that he still has two years worth of Christmas presents that he has been unable to deliver personally to his own children. The stories can be heartrending and prove that there are times when the system fails both fathers and children." Hurd also tabled letters and court orders from six fathers who have collectively spent more than $100,000 in legal bills to gain court orders which they have been unable to consistently enforce. VICTORIA - Homeowners will have to foot a property tax bill for an additional $20-million a year as a result of the Harcourt government's giving railway companies a tax break, B.C. Liberal leader Gordon Campbell said this week. Legislation introduced by the NDP, reduces the property tax burden paid by CN, CP Rail and, B.C. Rail by an estimated $20-. million per year. The railways argue that they are paying too much property tax in B.C. and this is making their operations uneconomic. "The property taxpayers in affected municipalities will sec their taxes increase because of this measure," said Campbell. "So much for Harcourt's pledge of no new taxes. The NDP has increased 29 different taxes since they were elected and now we can , add one more to the list." Campbell, when he was Vancouver city mayor, led a property tax revolt against the NDP in 1992 when the government tried to impose huge^ tax increases on property owners.

Following quickly on the heels of the controversial giui control legislation, the assembly also gave the nod to a bill calling for harsh sentences in violent hate crimes. Like the gun bill, the hate crime legislation is well intcn- tioncd but seriously flawed. While the gun legislation merely creates political difficulties that may be overcome, the hate crime bill raises serious ethical questions about equality in Canada. In fact, the law makes one wonder if tlie solution is worse than the problem. The hate crime bill calls on courts to hand out stiffer jail sentences when crimes are motivated out of prejudice against people because of their disabilities, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Refonn MPs and a handful of Liberals staunchly opposed the legislation, claiming it singles out homosexuals and others for protection which other citizens do not get. In particular, they argued the bill gives homosexuals special status. The MPs were right to argue against the bill based on the idea that it creates a special status for some citizens, which is unjustified and unnecessary. However, some clearly opposed the bill for the wrong reasons - namely homophobia. Nova Scotia Liberal Roseanne Skokc opposed the legislation because she believes homosexuality is immoral and unnatural. Justice Minister Allan Rock has defended his hate crime bill, arguing it does not give homosexuals special status. He said the government had to take steps to counter gay-bashing and violence against religious groups. Although such crimes are deplorable, why is extra legislation necessary? If a house is fire bombed or a person beaten, how does the motivation make it worse? Isn't the injury the same? Shouldn't the punishment be the same? Laws already exist for those crimes. And though gay-bashing is a disgusting phenomenon, this law does inadvertently give a sector of the community special status. Imagine if the Parliament passed a law that prescribed five-year jail terms for killing black people but life imprisonment for murdering whites. There would be howls of outrage the government was enshrining special status for Caucasians. Special status for crime victims based on such criteria is wrong. -Prince Rupert Daily News Letters invited Tlie Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community.

It's time we stood up for hard-working MPs By TIM NAUMETZ It's that time of year again when MPs abandon Parliament HiU to make way for the tourists. The three-month summer recess means it's also time to think once again, about the job of the parliamentarian. What I mean here is the work tbe MP has to do to cash a regular pay check. And, more importantly, I have in mind the hours of work. This time, let us not be selfish. Let's think about the sacrifice the MP makes and how little that sacrifice is truly appreciated by your average voter. You know, people like you and me.

We have three levels of government and I really don't think they know why they were elected, or who they were supposed to govern or what they were to protect. They are spending millions of our tax dollars sending thousands of our soldiers to Europe as peacekeepers to people who does not know the mean- ing of the word. While at the same time we in Canada have a small group of people which call themselves the "Warriors" who are defying our law in every way at any time they so please. They openly challenge the government and the RCMP. We were saddened when the Sikhs were allowed to change the dress code of the RCMP, so why should we feel any different because the RCMP logo and emblem have been handed over to the Disney Corporation for safe keeping? Sooner it be Disney than the Warriors with their faces covered. We don't know if they are Canadian or some foreigners who are taking over our fish, wildlife and roads. It may not be too long when a person will not be safe to leave home, as you may be kidnapped by the Warriors, and as of now don't look to the RCMP for help; their hands are tied by our government. Just how long do they. think the people will put up with a government ready to give away our soul to a group that call themselves the Warriors? Could it be that they sense that the people are at a breaking point and are about to take things into their own hands to save our country and resources? Could the reason for all the talk about gun control have something to do with it? TED HANSEN, Aldergrove.' Editor, The Star, Sir, The matter of air pollution is a grievous one. Every time we have some hot weather and the mists form, we hear about it on the TV news and in all the papers. It is those of us in the Fraser Valley who are most affected by Vancouver's pollution since the prevailing breezes seems to carry the pollution eastward. If we want to protect ourselves against this insidious predator we have to act, not just keep talking about it. We cannot get rid of the automobile so we have to make adjustments to the use of the automobile. Ideally, we would change all engines into hydrogen-burning engines, for hydrogen when burnt produces mainly steam. Some buses are already using hydrogen- burning engines and this is a move in the right direction, but we have to tuni the automobile into a hydrogen-burning vehicle just like the buses. To obtain sufficient hydrogen would be a problem, but surely our scientists can come up with a way to obtain hydrogen from the sea. Water is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. One way of breaking it down is by passing an electrical current through it. Of course, some point out that to produce the electrical current requires the burning of fossil fuels creating pollution, unless the electricity is made in nuclear plants. It has become obvious that each immigrant coming into Canada with $100 in his pocket is likely to put $50 down on a car. Since this writer quit the work place in 1985 it is safe to say the traffic has doubled from what it was then. This trend will continue, no doubt One immediate help in controlling the pollution, although this may be considered drastic, would be for the government to make an order requiring those with even- nUmbered licenses to drive one day and those with odd-numbered licenses to drive on Uie alternate day. This might come near to cutting the number of cars on any given day in half. To some Uiat may seem a little bizarre but equalize that with lung and respiration problems. Which do we want, ever-increasing cars on the roads with ever increasing pollution or something done now to begin putting an end to it? This writer is a motorist driving a car using fossil fuel. If hydrogen were available at a reasonable price, the writer would have his car converted to hydrogen-burning. To convert all automobiles to hydrogen-burning would be a massive undertaking, that is true, but it is Uie one thing that will get rid of air-pollution from Uie automobile. R.G. KEARNS Surrey Baggataway Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of the Langley Lacrosse Association, I would like to thank you for covering our Dennis Rickey Memorial Tournament This tournament runs annually in June, Uiis year marked its 19th year. Lacrosse is Canada's national summer sport and is one of the oldest team sports played in die world. When the first white set- tiers arrived on the North American shores, "baggataway", as the Indians called it was flourishing. It was especially popular among the Iroquois of what is now upper New York and lower Ontario. The game is known to have been played by as many as 48 tribes spread across 3,000 miles, lasting as many as two to three days. Over the past two years, our association has expanded. This year we signed up 29 mini-types (ages 4-6). It is through our local community paper that we are able to make this once popular sport known again and bring forth the interest to those who would like to come out and play it. We plan on advertising for an early registration in January and setting up lacrosse-mini-sessions in school gyms. This would be an excellent opportunity for those who would like to try it first before committing themselves to a team. Once again thank-you and we look forward to your support in the future. DENISE SELLERS Langley'.ii^^j^i(i>>Vj^V«'>Vf ■ one has to make sure those taxes are collected. Someone has to make sure we need a federal license, with yearly renewals, just to operate the fridge safely. I've always sympathized with MPs who spend time away from families. But what I don't understand, and I've mentioned Uiis before, is why Uiey have to take a full six months out of the year to do all their work. That's Uie time Uiey spend in Ottawa. Six month. Twenty-six long weeks. With at least one week off every month to return to their ridings, another two months at Christmas and a couple of two- week breaks scattered tiirough the calendar, MPs end up spending six entire months in Parliament For that, plus a heavy load of politicking and constituency work at home, Uiey get a paltry $64,500 a year. WeU, a bit more. They also get $27,000 a year in tax-free expense and living accounts. Oh yes, they do get free travel. Sixty-four round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the country. They have to use the free tickets to go back and forth to Uieir constituencies, of course. Parliament only sits for six months, though, which means they have an extra 38 round-trip tickets to travel anywhere they want in Canada. But then, their spouses and dependents can use some of the free trips. There's also the free lunch every day in the Commons lobbies. Still, that's not enough. It's peanuts in fact, truth be told. Think of the job and how important it is to us. MPs are responsible for running Uie country. If it weren't for MPs, Canada would be in a desperate fix, saddled with a huge debt, verging on bankruptcy. If it weren't for MPs, our tiny army would be bogged down in some European civil war, like Bosnia for instance, unable to move, unable to help themselves and unable to get out It would be costing us hundreds of millions of dollars a year to keep Uie troops Uiere, as well as Uie risk to Canadian soldiers. It's a lucky thing we've got these MPs, underpaid as I say, or that's the kind of fix we'd be looking at for sure. And what about national unity? If it weren't for our elected representatives, why the country would be on Uie verge of disaster. Quebec would be on Uie brink of separation. And there's always the environment. Think of the consequences of life without Parliament on that score. Freshwater lakes killed by acid rain. Entire forests laid waste by clearcutting. For goodness sakes, if not for MPs and Uie sound rule of Parliament, why I bet even the fish would be gone. There'd be no more cod. We'd be down to Uie slimy turbot, and fighting just to keep that But I digress. We do have MPs, underpaid as Uiey are, so all that couldn't happen. In fact, since they've done so much to prevent such calamity, let's show some appreciation and quit being so selfish. It's time we gave them a raise or cut down Uieir work.

With that kind of savii I recently read, with some con- merce to meet with the City of should all encourage the Editor, The Star, Sir, I recently read, with some consternation, about the apparent unwillingness of some members of the Township of Langley Council to heed the request from MORE LETTERS What the heck is going on? Editor, The Star, Sir, The Langley Fine Arts School has recendy received funding for a 350-seat theatre in Fort Langley at their present site. The cost is approximately 4-mill ion dollars. The Walnut Grove High School has numerous portables because it is over capacity and will need more for the next school year. We have theatres in Brookswood High School, Aldergrove Community High School and at Kwanden College. Add to that, that the City and the Township want to build Cultural Centres (with theatres) and one has to wonder what the heck is going on? The Fine Arts School is located in a quiet Fort Langley neighborhood. Did anyone ask the people living in the neighborhood whether they want traffic from a 350-seat theatre on their quiet streets? Is there adequate parking? Is it well lit? Does the public get a say? The school district's position is, that they must build it, first because the funding has been approved, and secondly that in the past they haven't been able to get together with the City and the! Township to share facilities. I must ask: Who requests monies for theatres when our schools don't have enough classrooms? If you can't get together on sharing facilities, arc you trying hard enough? Wake up! Even the Fine Arts School itself could better use these funds to renovate and improve classrooms. We can't afford luxuries when we can't fulfill our childrens' basic needs.

Francine 857-1185 the Langley Chamber of Commerce to meet with the City of Langley and the School District #35 to avoid duplication of cultural facilities. Duplication of services have cost all of us money, as there is only one place the funds come from, and that is from everyone's pockets. It is not a question of whether this community needs a new music school or whether we need cultural facilities but is more a question of how many and where best located. I know that in the past we have seen various levels of government and bureaucrats unable to agree on joint funding, location, etc. with regard to this situation, but that is the past, and there is no reason to use the past history as an excuse to mess up the future. The information I have read puts the total Cultural Centre and Music School in Langley Township in three phases at 30-million dollars, which amounts to $285 for every man, woman and child in the Township. If the City builds a Cultural Centre of oidy similar size without a music school, it would be fairly safe to say that they will spend 20-million dollars. Therefore if both Langley City and the Township of Langley build Cultural Centres, it would be pretty, safe to say about 50-million dollars of taxpayers monies is about to be spent We must ask ourselves what that money can buy: 1) The Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre with a Library cost about 1-million dollars; 2) The W.C. Blair Pool and Recreation Facility cost about 3- million dollars; 3) The Walnut Grove Community Centre cost about 4.5-million dollars. If the two municipalities got together and saved 50% of the cost each, there would be 20-25- million dollars left over. That would pay for some of the following: 1) 5 new pools at $4-million each; 2) 4 new rinks at $5-million each; 3) 10 new ball diamonds at $200,000 each; 4) 20 community based agencies at $100,000 each (just use your imagination). With that kind of savings we should all encourage the elected officials of both communities to take a closer look at how they wish to spend our money. I am a firm believer that the music school is of tremendous benefit to this community. I have seen it benefit the development of some of the finest young people our community has produced. Its home should benefit all of the children in Langley as should any Cultural Centre achieve the maximum benefit both at the best price available. We have been talking about these facilities for as long as I've been a resident of the Township : of Langley wliich is some 11-1/2 years. If we take a couple of months to see it we can co-operate in the .final analysis, what can it hurt except to.benefit us all. I hear the levels of government did in the end decide to meet July 8, 1995. Let's hope they get somewhere. RT.

The father of a minor hockey player has blamed the township and city administrations for increased costs in the recreational area, asking politicians to And the money elsewhere than in the pockets of sports fans-. "We are one of the families who will be hurt if the -township and the city of Langley persist in the dispute about recreation funding," says city resident Tim Johnson. "We have one son in minor hockey and are being threatened with increased costs of $300 per year to have him continue to play in the Langley Minor Hockey Association." Councillors will be sending a letter to Johnson, explaining to him that it isn't all that easy to provide more and more facilities and still keep the costs down. A dispute has erupted between officials in the two Langleys as to who should pay how much and for what. City councillors have indicated that they have no interest in cost-sharing recreational facilities with the township although they don't mind if the facilities are there for their citizens to use as well. Trails fan slams town planning MURRAYVILLE - "Trails are a lot cheaper than buildings and parks," an angry woman told council here Monday night. Holly Gordon was one of several delegates demanding that the township proceed with another link to the horse trail in the North Otter area. The. delegates were angry that council had decided to sell a road allowance near 250 Street to private individuals after they had been brought to understand that the property would become part of the trail network. Otter Road is becoming too dangerous to be a part of the trail system, they said. Artists going fishing at Fort FORT LANGLEY - Gyotaku (gee-o-taku) is the art of taking prints directly from fish.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JULY 1g 1W& BC21 grant pursued with Abbotsford's reservations By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - With much hesitation, council has endorsed an application by Community Services for a B.C. 21 Grant. The organization has bought the old court house on Laurel Street and are now applying for a grant for renovations and equipment. There was much debate on the issue. Councillor Ken Funk said, that the money is still the taxpay-' er's whether it comes from the municipal, provincial or federal level of government "We're just going to another level of government, putting out our hands, and saying 'pay here'." Councillor Chuck Wiebe agreed with Funk and said that this country is broke because the citizen's have all put out one hand too many. On the other side of the issue Councillor Patricia Ross argued that the money is there, and if Abbotsford doesn't take it, then someone else will. Councillor Mark Warawa agreed. "A lot of Abbotsford's money is going to Victoria in one form or another, and it's time that we took some of our share back." Opposed to the endorsement were Councillors Wiebe and Funk.

Reserved Glen Valley park plans go to summer open house BURNABY - The GVRD has scheduled an open house at the new Glen Valley Regional Park on Saturday, Aug. 26, between noon and 3 p.m. The public is invited to stop by Poplar and Two-bit Bars (at the Fraser River, off River Road between 272 Street and Lefeuvre Road), for tours of the new facilities with park staff. The GVRD is installing a parking lot and toilets at Two-bit Bar just west of the Hassall House at 272 Street, which is also undergoing renovations by the Langley Heritage Society in cooperation with the GVRD. The 1917 house was occupied continuously by the Hassall family, who charged 25 cents to fish at the bar adjacent to their home, hence its name, Two- bit Bar. As the story goes, when Mrs. Hassall became too old to go down to the river she left a tin cup in a tree for the fishers to leave their payment The society has cleaned up the home site and begun work on the foundation restoration. They hope to have the work completed by fall, when a caretaker is to move in for rental income and security reasons. The society has received $29,600 for the work from BC Heritage Trust, as well as $30,000 from the GVRD. Poplar Bar is now gated outside the posted hours of 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., .and neighbours report that rowdyism and trash dumping has definitely declined. Litter is picked up regularly and signs are posted for the public's benefit The Glen Valley Park began with a 17.7 hectare purchase by the GVRD, followed by another 77 hectares purchased by the province through the Lower Mainland Nature Legacy fund. Additional land is being sought for the park from the city of Abbotsford, and the GVRD has allocated close to $200,000 this year for development and operation of the new park.

Many of the over 100 who attended told their stories of their dealings with the WCB - one man vented frustration about his treatment at WCB's hands over the past 30 years. While Bogyo outlined the changes and improvements the WCB has achieved during its existence, Lund was angry that no one from the current provincial government or labour unions responded to her invitation to attend and hear the citizens' complaints. -Robert Melynchuk photo Ailing WCB urgently needs reconstructive surgery By KURT LANGMANN LANGLEY - The Workers' Compensation Board is a mess. Even the government has recognized this, and the legislature is expected to quickly pass the suspension of the WCB board of governors this week. However, the political football being played out may be nothing more than another end-run, as injured victims continue to hobble about the field in pain. Langley MLA Lynn Stephens summed it up succinctly, Monday: "The costs are up, the claims are down and the service is appalling. The problems and inconsistencies have remained unresolved for years," she told The Star. "As far as I know, every MLA in the province deals with an average of four WCB cases a week. The WCB as it's structured just isn't working. It has to be taken apart and put back together in a functional mode." Stephens was among the 125 people who attended a Saturday meeting at the Conference Centre, organized by Birgit Lund of Surrey. MLA Gary Farrell-Collins, WCB director of compensation services division Terrance Bogyo and frustrated WCB clients were there, but Lund said her invitations to the premier and cabinet members did not result in their attendance. However, Lund personally delivered a petition to the legislature, Monday, which was tabled. "I did shock Mr. Miller by showing up," said Lund. She told The Star that she's been after labour minister Dan Miller for two years in her fight for "fairness for the worker" but had been passed from office to office. Over die weekend, the government has coincidentally been hit with the resignation notice of WCB president Dale Parker, who said he had to leave the job after less than a year because of "external attempts to intervene in operational matters that rightfully rest with management... self interests have orchestrated an unrelenting attack on the organization." The past week has also seen public criticism of what's been called a sweetheart deal to WCB employees in a new contract to be ratified this week. Stephens said the deal has two "outrageous offers" to workers, in the form of "one minute of overtime in trade for a day off, and job security" that's not available to anyone else in the known universe. "It's not acceptable; frankly it's unbelievable," said Stephens. Stephens said she was "distressed to hear people who have been battling the WCB for as long as 30 years" at the meeting hosted by Lund. "Nothing changes. Various administrations and an endless parade of CEOs couldn't effect remedies to serious problems." Mission resident, Barrie Alden said he hasn't had a satisfactory resolution to his case in 30 years. Lund, whose husband, Svend passed away two years ago after 20 years of severe disability, has seen her widow's pension slashed after sacrificing her career to provide home care for Svend for all those years. She told The Star that if she'd left Svend in an institution it would have cost the WCB as much as $6,000 a month, but she couldn't bear the thought of deserting him at a time of need. Along with their children, she cared for him and fought for his personal care allowance, which totalled $1,780 a month at the time of his death. Those years of self-sacrifice — which saved the WCB so much money — now see her approaching age 65 quickly, and with a mere $911 widow's benefits each month. Since she couldn't contribute to CPP and other pension plans during all those years of home care, she faces penurity in her senior years. Lund is also very critical of WCB operations, particularly the rehabilitation consultants, adjudicators and medical review boards Uiat she battled so many times. "If you're not strong, they break you down and convince you it's all in your head. They have to get some dignity back into the system for the workers. The parties, including workers and businesses, have to come together, and they have to keep their promises, be accountable." Lund said she has no doubt there are abuses of the system, but the powers of the WCB workers are excessive in rooting this out when bureaucrats "can overrule medical decisions. The (WCB) act is so old, it's not moving with the times. It needs a shakeup.'1 She said her agitation for change is often met with "no response. It baffles me that they have a mandate to ignore complaints. But I'll press on because they can't hurt me any more than they have." Miller has proposed appointment of administrators to look after responsibilities of the disbanded board and promised a review of "the system of WCB governance required for the longer term stability and functionality of the board of governors." He also expressed hope that Parker would reconsider his resignation notice, as Parker said his plans for "transforming the WCB into a customer-driven, cost-effective organization" had otherwise been proceeding "favourable to plan and projections." Town gets a new stoplight VICTORIA - More than $240,000 will be invested in projects in the Fort Langley-Aldergrove constituency under the 1995/96 highway rehabilitation program, Transportation and Highways Minister Jackie Pement announced this week. The MV Kulleet, one of the principal vessels used on the. Albion Ferry service, will be prepared for its five-year service dry docking and refit for Canadian Coast Guard certification. The second project is the installation of a pedestrian signal at Fraser Highway and 268 Street in Aldergrove. This project will be cost shared with the municipality. 'These projects are part of the ministry's $138-million rehabilitation program to protect and improve our highways infrastructure," said Pement. Youths fight stereotypes By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - The Abbotsford Youth Commission appeared as a delegation to Council to present the results of the 1995 Youth Survey, and to stress the positive findings and downplay the negative findings sensationalized by the media. John Dulku made a speech to council in wliich he said that the purpose of the Youth Commission is to dispel the negative stereotypes of youth, and he was speaking to defend the positive findings of the survey since the media 'exploited the negatives, distorted the issues and showed only what' they wanted to show.' After his speech he did say that neither he, nor any members of the Commission had. read the June 28 Star article about the survey results. He said that the results on drinking, drugs, suicide and sex, made newspaper headlines, but not the facts that according to the survey, 77% of youth don't do drugs, 59% don't drink and 66% never smoked a cigarette. Dulku also said that 87% of youth believe that they have something to offer the community, yet society is apprehensive. Youth are just trying to extend an arm to the adult population, which is constantly shown the negative stereotypes of youth. "Youth are yearning to be discovered for what they really are, and they are just as effected by public perception and negative stereotypes as the rest of society." The delegation concluded by inviting councillors to the upcoming Youth Forum in October. Clipping for a good cause ALDERGROVE - While a lot of attention is focused on AIDS these days, another common household word, cancer continues to cripple and kill thousands of Canadians each year. "Someone told me today that her best friend has cancer," said Aldergrove Mall manager Jan Varty. "Breast cancer that she has been battling with for the past 12 months. Kathy told me she wanted to do something for the Canadian Cancer Society because they would be helping her friend." Kathy is unable to make a substantial personal cash donation, but has come up with another way to make a difference. Since she is a hair stylist at the Cut Stop, she is going to be cutting hair in the mall's parking lot on Sunday, July 30 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with all proceeds to go directly to the Cancer Society. Other hair stylists-friends from Cut Stop will lend her a hand that day. "Come out and help Kathy make a difference," said Varty. "Kathy told me her best friend was also her Mom."

I have since received many queries about these "amazing strips" and thought I should report more seriously on why they are so good in your RRSP. Time and time again I meet people who have (often without knowing) placed all of their RRSP into GICs or Term Deposits, and now wonder how they can get better returns without sacrificing safety. At some point they may have felt, or been led to believe, that these bonds were the most sure way to achieve safety, but receive a superior rate of return through "strip" bonds. Strip bonds are actually derived from guaranteed government bonds, but differ in ways that allow for greater potential returns and flexibility. Conventional government bonds - Term Deposits and GICs - are issued by federal or provincial governments and pay a set rate of interest each year in the form of semi-annual interest coupons, and whose principal is repayable at maturity. Strip bonds are created, when investment firms buy these government bonds, physically remove (strip) coupons from the bond, and in doing so create a series of individual notes with specific maturity dates. Each coupon retains its government guarantee, and can be sold separately at a price which represents the present THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JULY 12,199$ Burgers should be well cooked VANCOUVER - Last summer, Anne Nickerson-Jackie's three year old daughter innocently ate a hamburger at a summer barbecue and, as a result, contracted hemolytic uremic syndrome ("hamburger disease") which has caused kidney failure. She is expected to require a transplant by her eariy teens. "I want to ensure that the public knows how to prevent this illness, especially during the summer months - barbecue season. My husband and I have established the Jackie Family Fund to raise public awareness about hemolytic uremic syndrome and how to prevent it" "Young children are most susceptible to this illness and their parents need to be on the lookout for under-cooked ground meat. Hemolytic uremic syndrome need never happen and I would hate to see any other child go through what our little girl has been through", said Jackie. The Kidney Foundation of Canada reports that as many as 20,000 Canadians annually get sick with E. coii bacteria that infects the intestine. As many as 10% of these people may get hemolytic uremic syndrome which can cause kidney failure and even death. Ground meat should be bought fresh and quickly frozen or refrigerated. Freezing does not kill E. coii bacteria. Meat should be thawed in the refrigerator and burgers should be cooked thoroughly (no pink). Anyone wishing to assist or make a donation to this public education program should call 736-9775 or 1-800-567-8112 or write the Jackie Family Fund, c/o the Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC Branch, #201-1669 West 3rd Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6J 1K1 or your local Kidney Foundation Chapter. Attack steps up on NDP's "gag law" p VANCOUVER - National Citizens' Coalition president David Somerville has released a legal opinion slamming BC Premier Harcourt's proposed electoral gag law on July 5, in front of a large billboard in Vancouver opposing it. The large two-panelled billboard is located near the entrance to the Lion's Gate Bridge and has two alternating messages. The .first message features a photo of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the caption "We stopped Mulroney's election gag law..."; The second has a photo of Harcourt and the caption, "We'll stop Harcourt's election gag law too... Join Us!" "This billboard comparing Mulroney and Harcourt marks the first phase of our assault on this horrible law," said Somerville. value of the future cash to be received. There are several major advantages to investing in these stripped bonds. Since there are no interim interest payments requiring reinvestment, the money is compounded at a fixed rate, providing guaranteed yield to maturity and eliminating the need to reinvest small amounts of interest, possibly at lower rates. Unlike "locked-in" GICs, stripped bonds are salable at any time at current market prices, providing easy liquidity. Also strips can be easily purchased with staggered maturity dates to provide yields (income) over a period of years. This gives j a person greater flexibility in tai- _| loring an investment strategy and results in better returns. Stripped bonds are also suited for use in an RRSP. Here they can ,1 provide a guaranteed value for all || or part of the RRSP at some date '|J in the future, along with the full advantage of tax-free compound- i ing to assist in better growth. The broad range of maturity dates available, ranging from several months to 30 years, also allows greater flexibility for such strategies as saving for a child's education, a car purchase, or dream vacation. For those who previously j thought the GICs and Term j Deposits at your bank were the j safest ways to invest, look again!

POLICE WARN HUNTERS If you go out in the bush today ... CRANBROOK - Police arc warning hunters and guides to watch out for trouble after a Revelstoke outfitter's camp was fire- bombed recently. A group calling itself Earth Liberation Army took credit for the blaze, which caused an estimated $30,000 of damage. It came less than two months after a Cranbrook wildlife museum and taxidermist's office were hit by arson attacks. Revelstoke RCMP Sergeant Art Kleinsmith advised hunters and outfitters to take extra precautions. "They've said anybody is a potential target. We've alerted the ones in our immediate region," he said. "Who knows what's next? "Security is a legitimate concern. It's advisable until we have a better handle on this thing." The Earth Liberation Army called guide outfitters "hired assassins, pimps of the hunting world" in a letter sent too Revcl- stoke's local newspaper. The letter called for an end to trophy hunting and warned all hunting-related businesses that they are "fair game" for the group's "commandos".

District Deputy, Ernie Karalus acted as the Grand Installing Officer. The new Exalted Ruler is lifelong Aldergrove resident Tom Miller, a member of the lodge since 1947. Thomas Miller, the second son of John Miller, went to work, in logging camps in 1938, joined the RCAF in 1941 and trained as a Wireless Air Gunner. He went overseas in 1943, and on opera- dons in April 1944 his plane was shot down, and Tom spent a year as a P.O.W. in Germany. He returned to Aldergrove in 1945 to farm, joined the Aldergrove Elks Lodge in 194,7, and in 1948 he went to work for the Otter District Fanners' Institute, now Otter Coop. Tom married Mary Louise Thackeray in June 1949. A year later he took a position with Canada Customs, from which he retired in 1979 as a superintendent. He played softball for the Aldergrove Elks team and basketball for Aldergrove. Later he coached in both sports. Tom and Mary raised three children: Robert Roy, Deane, and Rita Louise. Rita and her husband, Brian Thompson, are living on the remainder of the original homestead, making ownership by the Miller family continuous since 1886. Benevolent & Protective Order of the Elks, Lodge #66. Aldergrove Elks Lodge #66 was instituted on June 30, 1923. Provincial Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, Brother Al Davis, presided over the event with thirty-seven members receiving the obligation. The ceremony was carried out by the officers of New Wesuninstcr Elks Lodge #33, the Mother Lodge of Lodge #66. At this time die boundaries of the Aldergrove Elks included Aldergrove, Matsqui Municipality, Abbotsford, and Langley Prairie. The original meeting was held in the Hamre Hall, with a rental of $10 per month. Brother Sam Campbell (chief customs and immigration officer at Aldergrove Customs) was our first exalted ruler, and was often referred to as the Father of the Lodge. Dues were 50 cents per month. The present Elks property was purchased from W. Vannetta, and the first hall was built by the Olund Bros., contractors from Matsqui Village. The first meeting in the new hall was held on Tuesday, November 3, 1925, with the official opening on February 2, 1926. Many visitors from other lodges came to the opening, a total of 150 from as far away as the United States. Many gifts were presented, the most noteworthy being an elk's head donated by Vancouver Lodge #1 and still hanging in the present lodge room. In 1926 when the Mission City Elks #30 were organized, the Aldergrove Elks, as Mother Lodge, conducted the ceremony.' In 1928 the ladies of the Lodge organized the Order of the Royal Purple in Abbotsford. Since its inception, the Elks Lodge has always been very active in sponsoring children's . community activities and assisting individuals who are in need. New members are always a welcome addition.

I was a faithful viewer. Marc Singer (The Beastmaster) and Faye Grant (Omen IV, Traces of Red) were the glam couple, falling in love and fighting human-eating space things on the side. One important plot line dealt with a human becoming impregnated by an alien. The result was nonidentical twins. The first baby was a human-looking girl, who aged rapidly into a pretty blond, eventually developed psychic abilities and fought on behalf of the Human Resistance. The sibling was an evil green lizardy thing which died soon after delivery. The movie Species picks up this plot thread. After many years of waiting, aliens have finally responded to satellite transmissions from us Earthlings. Gullible creatures that we are, we're sent information about how to make clean burning fuel and jump to the fast conclusion that we're dealing with nice guys. Yes, they're Earth Floral display at Van Dusen fl VANCOUVER - The B.C.

As a casual aside, they slip us another piece of info on how to combine our DN A with "theirs," Sight unseen, scientists hop to the proposal. In so doing, Species takes a turn at the same basic idea that "V" tackled so many years ago: what would a half-human, half-alien look like and how would it behave? According to the movie a "Humalien" is a combination of "V'"s siblings: a quick growing, pretty blond who can, at whim, transform into an evil green thing. The movie opens with the escape of this experimental girl. Soon, she is on a mission to procreate. Hot on her trail of carnage is a team of scientists, a hit man and a psychic led by 1982's Best Actor Oscar winner Ben Kings- ley. Also starring is Oscar nominee Forest Whitaker, Michael Madsen, Marg Helgenherger, and Albertan actress, Natasha Hen- stridge as the nasty creation. Species, which was number two at the box office, is sci-fi lite and although it is not very good, somehow it does manage to remain moderately entertaining. The highest grossing movie of the weekend was Apollo 13, starring Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton and Ed Harris. This was an intensely entertaining, based on fact, adventure. Apollo 13 tells us the story of the 1970 Moon mission that went awry. Three astronauts were left floating around in space when their craft was damaged after some routine "housekeeping." Low on oxygen and power, with no possibility of physical rescue, the men waited for life saving instruction from Mission Control. It's no secret that these men were saved and the problem on the craft was fixed for future missions, but the care with which this story is played out is captivating. You'll wait anxiously in your theatre seat as people must have sat in front of their televisions for news updates twenty-five years ago. Director Ron Howard puts love and life into his latest film, leaving the audience feeling like we had experienced the real thing. Combining his directoral insight with a terrific cast and total cooperation with NASA, Apollo 13 is a trip. EIGHTH ANNUAL FOLK FESTIVAL Music and magic is in Mission MISSION - The eighth annual Mission Folk Music Festival is ready to roll along the banks of the Fraser River, July 21-23. Something magical always happens at this festival that has experienced lunatic full moons, electrical storms, pulsating Northern Lights and other natural phenomena. But the greatest phenomenon is the music itself. When close to 200 singers, musicians, and dancers come together at the site of the original mission for which the town is named, a musical magic settles over the site, enchanting musician and audience alike. Musically, the festival has explored territory unknown to many folk music festivals, such as last year's presentation of the CBC Orchestra and a look at the connections between folk and classical music. This year the festival continues to go beyond the ordinary, offering a line-up that is charged with energy, great music, and happy surprise. Along with a rich heritage of folk traditions from Canadian to Celtic, African, Caribbean, South American and others, the festival will journey into world music, jazz and other idioms that have roots in folk. It will all happen on three day stages, an evening concert stage, and in the jam sessions that take place after the stages shut down. Featured this year is the 1995 Juno-winning world beat of Haitian born Eval Manigat and his band Tchaka. The band is big, with thirteen musicians on keyboards, saxophones, trumpets, trombone, percussion, vocals and more. The sound is incredible, conjuring up images of Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and beyond. Anyone who has been waiting for the return of Finjan need wait no longer. The scintillating and soulful klezmer that is their trademark will klezmerize audiences all weekend while Willie and Lobo whip off a brew grounded in gypsy traditions and spiced with Cajun, Tex-Mex, Middle Eastern, tango, jazz and even a little Virginia reel.

The infectious African rhythms of festival favourites Anzanga Marimba will be there as will Canadian folk veterans Bill Garret and Paul Mills. Others include Victoria based Djole, Juno runners up for best global recording; Shari Ulrich, Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes as UHF and maybe even as themselves; the Celtic funk of Mad Pudding, the bhangra rock of Dal Dil Vog, the soulful gospel of Circle of Voices, and Mission's own John Hough with the smoothest voice west of the Rockies and a new CD. Special guests this year from another musical idiom are six stellar musicians who make up the group Skywalk. The group was formed back in 1980 to explore new areas in contemporary jazz ensemble playing. Since then they have become virtual legends, establishing musical landmarks with their recordings and remaining true to their vision. Master of ceremonies for this year's festival will be the lone Rover, Will Millar. He has finally called it quits with the old Irish Rovers to follow his musical heart, which has taken him to Mission - a good place to be. You can be guaranteed there will be no dull moments between sets. An that's not all. There is more to be announced, like the Acoustic Connection stage, dancing, childrens' activities, workshops, mini-concerts, and more performers. The festival takes place at the Fraser River Heritage Regional Park, the original site of the mission from which the community's name was taken. The setting is beautifully appointed. Mission is •where the fresh waters of the Fraser River meet tlie tidal surge of die salt waters of the ocean. It is also where the Upper Fraser Delta meets the open space of the lower mainland, and where the Cascade Mountains meet the Coastal Mountain ranges. This unique geographical setting has been home to a unique history. For thousands of years it has been a centre of trade, exchange of ideas, and a spiritual centre. It has been a gathering place. The Mission Folk Music Festival is part of this history of gathering; in this case,, a bringing together of music, . dance, culture and people. This festival is affordable, especially if you buy advance. Adult tickets range from a mere $15 for the Friday evening concert featuring five performances, to $37 for the entire weekend of evening concerts, day stages, workshops, music, dance and more. The prices are even lower for seniors and teens, and a simple $3 for the kids. Most tickets at the gate will be a few dollars, more. On-site camping is available for the weekend. (Sorry, no RVs. Phone Mission Tourism at 826- 6914 for nearest RV site). Phone the festival office at 826-5937 for information.

Readers may have heard of the scandalous parents who've left their kids in a toy store for a day, as a sort of free babysitting service, but how about an indoor playground that's designed as a low- cost babysitting service? That's the concept of Kid City, on the Langley Bypass next to Consumers Distributing. It's a safe and stimulating environment for individual or group day trips, and the cost is only $3.95 to $6.95 a day — and adults are free! Staff trained in First Aid are on duty at all times, making sure also that the children do not leave the premises with anyone else other than the person that brought them there. They have special rooms for parties or toddlers, there's a snack bar and there is a plethora of games and activities designed to stimulate physical coordination, agility and endurance. Cooperative play and imagination is encouraged. They offer sleepover parties on weekends and holidays, too. Kid City has policies and rules that must be adhered to, for the benefit of all who attend. They invite parents who want to do some shopping without the kids, or organize any youth group parties, to inspect the premises before they register.

Two years ago the GVRD began taking the public into the watersheds during the summer months to let people see for themselves how these vast areas of mountainous land are managed. Tours of the watersheds are being offered each Thursday through Sunday from June 15 to September 17 this year. There are two tours each day starting at 8 am and again at 12:30 pm. Each tour lasts about four hours. The tours involve travel by bus with some walking, so solid walking shoes or hiking boots are recommended and a rain jacket if appropriate. If it is cloudy in the city, chances are it is raining in the watersheds. As well, participants may wish (o bring their own snacks, as there are no food facilities inside the watersheds.

NICHOLSON courtesy of EILEEN BIDGOOD The hardy pioneers had a great deal in common. They were adventurous young people, some married, some single, who faced the same tremendous challenge of hewing a home out of the forests without the advantage of any capital or government assistance to look forward to. They were a "grand people" imbued with a determination to establish a new home in a new country against formidable odds, with no assistance except their bare hands, and a faith "to be marvelled at" in their God, their fellowman and country. Probably the factor that stood these people in such good stead was that each and every one of the neighbours or homesteaders was living under the same conditions. This common bond bound these carly settlers together in co-operation and friendship. Together they built their homes, raised barns, cleared land, and held woodcutting bees. Meanwhile the wives gathered in the afternoons for a quilting bee or perhaps to hook rugs for the iloors. In (he evening they would put the young children to bed, clear the kitchen, and finish up the day with a dance. Probably someone would sing a song or give a recitation. Variety Club seeks donors VANCOUVER - The Variety Club Auction takes place October 1 at the Enterprise Mall on the Plaza of Nations. The 14th annual fund raising event for B.C.'s children with special needs will have a "Sports" theme for 1995, in memory of Syd Donovan, a great sports enthusiast and a staunch supporter of Variety Club for many years.

These people of many nationalities and faiths learned to work together to overcome problems that were impossible for the individual. They built their roads, homes, schools and churches together...whichever denomination entered a field first. They learned to worship together... Theirs was a common God; theirs was a common faith. They learned to love and respect each other with an understanding we marvel at today. They created their own community life, picnics, concerts, and then the crowning achievement of the year, the church Christmas tree and concert Here Protestants, Catholic and Jew alike joined together and enjoyed each other to the full. It has been my privilege to have been born and raised here... to ha ve seen this community develop from mud trails and paths to gravel roads and hard surfaced highways, from candlelight and coal oil lanterns to electricity with all its modern conveniences; from canoe, row-boat and steam boat transportation to oxen and horse-drawn vehicles, and now to the gasoline age with the latest in effort, speed and efficiency; from its infant pioneer days with the split shake shacks and log houses to the present towns, villages and cities with their beautiful modern homes.

A few years ago, a group of local citizens wondered as well. So they banded together to call themselves the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Committee. This group keeps increasing in enthusiasm and numbers, and has centered several events and projects this summer around the enhancement of Bertrand Creek and its surrounding natural areas. Here are some upcoming events and projects - Instream Projects: These arc beginning on July 10, 1995, finishing by August 30,1995, and will include placement of salmonid spawning gravel, rip-rap for bank stabilization, and wetland creation. An urban forest at tlie corner of 32nd Avenue and 264th Street Will serve as the focal point of these projects, with the possibility of joining up with a comiector trail system. Field crews hired by the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Committee and administered by Langley Environmental Partners Society will begin with Creating Wetland Habitat along Bertrand Creek at 32A Avenue and 265th Street. Please feel free to visit the sites and ask questions of the crews involved with tlie work! Instream Cleanup & BBQ: To kickoff the beginning of the "Instream Fisheries Window", which runs yearly from July 15 to September 15, there will be a BBQ and stream cleanup on Saturday, July 15,1995 from 11 AM to 1 PM, at the Heritage Hart House on 32nd Avenue and 271st Street. Bring the whole family and help out with enhancing Bertrand Creek through the urban core of Aldergrove! If you would like more information regarding these and other activities of the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Committee, you can contact Shcilagh Copeland at 857;5tr4.! ^^^m^^. fp Hugh cares? THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JULY 12,1995 15 Counterattack grows for summer By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK In folk hero fashion, girls called out "I love you"and the crowd went wild for newly appointed bad boy Hugh Grant as he was welcomed to the stage on the Tonight Show, Monday night. "I think you know in life, pretty much, what's a good thing to do and what's a bad thing and I did a bad thing, and there you have it," Grant explained with a smile adding that "In a curious kind of way I think I need to suffer for this." What suffering? He's a household name. How bizarre that it should be that the most 'Divine' way for an actor to generate interest in himself and his newest film is as simple as a close encounter with a prostitute. Public relations personnel must be clamoring to take credit. Perhaps weirder still is the possibility that a publisher is willing to pay the hooker three million dollars, according to Entertainment Tonight, to hear her story. Would people really buy this? How do you think that Hugh Gran's hooker incident will affect his career? Clayce Wilson, 13: He's definitely going to be more known, and it will change peoples opinions of him, probably negatively (but) I don't think it will really affect his career. Robert Henton: It should boost it. Well, he's well known and hell be making a movie probably... Larry's Hooker Movie or something. Venus Cat-son-Corkill: I think it's a great publicity boost. It boosts both of their careers which were sagging. It's a plot! You can smell it a mile away. Leslie Marganelli and Jessica, 17: I don't think it really matters because in Hollywood, what do they care? They all do everything, it's not going to make a difference. It just adds to their publicity. Hell just get different parts (now). Jenni Colchester, 13 and Kristine Robertson, 12:...I don't think it will really affect his career, I think everybody will just forget about it. ...If he was a good actor they shouldn't Uiink about (the hooker incident). VICTORIA - The province is turning up the heat on drinking drivers with a CounterAttack roadchecks pilot project in Vancouver and Victoria regions this summer and fall, Transportation and Highways Minister Jackie Pement said this week. Pement said more than half a million vehicles are expected to be stopped at the roadchecks, which will be conducted between now and Dec. 7 by municipal police forces in 10 municipalities. ICBC is providing $3-million to pay for the 20,000 hours of overtime that police officers will log during the CounterAttack campaign, which will entail 4,000 hours of roadchecks. Pement said the project is one of several initiatives the province has undertaken to enhance traffic safety Next year, the government will implement a number of measures, including administrative driving prohibition and vehicle impoundment, which target drinking drivers. They also include an enhanced licensing program which imposes a zero alcohol limit for all new drivers during their probationary period. HOW DO YOU GET THE BIGHT TRAINING FOR TODAY'S JOB MARKET? "There's a demand in this industry for technical training. That's where I figure my future is."-Eugene Soga, labourer. "With the skills and training, 1 will definitely have a better future."-Pam, social assistance recipient.-. *..,, "Because of this program, I've already started on my apprenticeship." -Chrissie Hipwell, grade 11 student "If we work smarter, in ten years we'll be a world leader. "-Tony Zweirs, Canadian-Woodworks. "Things get really busy up here at ihe clinic. I should, know, I used to be the receptionist" -Anita Davis, Certified Dental Assistant ASK A PANEL OF EXPERTS. The biggest question in B.C. today is about jobs: how do you find one; how do you get the right training, and how do you keep one? It's not easy to answer, but Chrissie, Pam, Eugene, Anita and Tony have found one solution. It's called Skills Now. A program that's working with business, local communities and education to train people to get into and stay in today's job market. For high school students like Chrissie Hipwell, Skills Now provides the pre-apprenticeship training to get her foot in the door of her chosen career. For Anita Davis, it meant the training to go from being the receptionist to a certified dental assistant in New Aiyansh, B.C. And to help retrain workers like Eugene Soga, technical training is available to get a better job in their field. Skills Now also offers opportunities like hands-on carpentry training for people like Pam, a single mom and social assistance recipient with two young children. And at Canadian Woodworks, a wood manufacturing plant in Prince George, Tony Zwiers and his employees received the necessary upgrading in training to improve their productivity and compete in the global market. JJ;j It's a program that's making a difference in B.C. by providing the training to create a more skilled workforce, to help people get off welfare and to better prepare B.C. students for the job market. It's worked for hundreds of British Columbians, and it can work for you. For more information call 1-800-63-SKILL.

One day last month my batman-cum-brother- in-Iaw Hideous Golightly and I decided to get out into the great outdoors for a little fishing and hiking. Golightly had packed us a sumptuous luncheon of small meatball sandwiches and, of course, the requisite bottle of wine, and off we went Our destination, the river of Chilliwack and possibly, if time permitted, a stroll in the Skagit Valley. Our itinerary set, off wc drove in my new Hummer. As we passed the exit to Abbotsford I was an SPCA sigh. "Halt," I commanded Golightly. 'Turn at this exit and follow those sings." We came to the SPCA shelter in Abbotsford. Something had stirred in my breast, and I knew that my destiny was calling Wife wanted ad worked BALTIMORE - Joseph Mullan did not find a wife. Last summer, the 77-year-old widower posted a large sign outside his elegant home that read: "Wanted a WIFE! Picture & Performance to Joseph Mullan. - Apply Within." Tlie sign generated international publicity, including a frontpage story in the Baltimore Sun, and attracted nearly 200 applicants from at least three countries. But as aspiring women sent letters with photographs and lined up at his front door, Mullan gradually realized that the one woman he tnily wanted - his deceased wife - would never turn up on his doorstep. "After a while I took tlie sign- down and went to bed," says the frail, silver-haired Mullan. "And now they're all gone." Slo-pitch registration SURREY - Slo-pitch teams are invited to register for the ninth annual Bears 7-3 Tournament to be held in- Cloverdale, August 5, 6, 7. Teams registered C, D and Rec only, and the First 16 teams paid will be accepted. $225 cash and merchandise prizes. Call early, this tourney is always full. Call Al at 859-6250 or 581 -6220. me. Once there, we moved to the dog department. There she was. A great black Labrador cross with eyes that called to mc. I knew I should have her at any cost. Arrangements were made and Golightly and I left in a great state of elation. I, because I had found my dream dog, and Golightly because he was relieved to be off the hook (as il were) because our fishing trip had been cancelled. We arrived back at Tottering Towers only two hours after we had left. My new dog, sitting in splendour in the back seat, had found our picnic lunch and eaten the whole thing, including die tin- foil that had wrapped it. I had a few misgivings about my impulsiveness in getting the dot, but it soon gave way to joy when she leapt out and began licking my face. I can still smell the meatballs on her lips. Now my only problem is - can I call her Hitler as I did my other dogs? will people laugh? Yrs. Fthfly, Brig. Hugo (Huge) Wallop. \Rct. Dear Huge, Of course you can call your new dog Hitler. Although I prefer Eva. I_et them laugh. Dear Readers, Another story in last week's Star about the SPCA. This time a real horror story. If you missed the facts, here they are again: Mr. M. Boekhorst, superintendent of the SPCA in Abbotsford, reports that of the 339 cats that were taken in from June 1 to 30 this year, 118 were full grown cats, 221 were kittens. Returned to owners: 8 cats and 6 kittens. Adopted: 1 cats and 34 kittens. Destroyed humanely: 98 cats and 133 kittens. Shocking, isn't it? If you have a cat and love it dearly have it spayed or neutered as soon as it is old enough. Also make sure it can't get out of your house and yard. These figures do not mention the hundreds of cats lying dead at the side of the road every year. If you have to have litde Billy or Tammy witness the 'Miracle of birth,' for God's sake buy them a book on the subject. Thank you. Annabelle. TIRE SALES 155R13 Radiate.

JULY 12,1995 17 The Mosquito All Stars played in the Coquitlam Tournament this past weekend and had a record of 1—2. The team showed improvement from the last tournament and are starting to know each other and become a solid team. Game #1. What a heartbreaker! We lost this game to Poco 17-16 in extra innings. It was a good team effort, but once again an error lead to die winning run for Poco. Cassidy Martin was named the game MVP for his crunching two triplets and six RBI. Game #2 - Aldergrove vs , Coquitlam-Moody. This team is quickly becoming an arch rival for our team, they beat us 16-3 last weekend. This game was a lot closer and finished 12-10 in favour of Coquitlam-Moody. It was a good game and could have gone either way. Trevor Kuby was named the game MVP for his hitting and pitching. The hardluck A's lost another player to injury, as catcher Trevor Cieszecki broke a finger on his throwing hand. Stewart Blackburn was called in from the reserve squad to replace Jacob Harder. Stewart played well but was also injured, suffering a deep bruise to his shin. Jacob is now healed and Stewart will be called on to replace Trevors C. this weekend in Vernon. Game #3 — Aldergrove vs South Richmond. We were 0-2 and wanted to win our first game. The A's were down 5-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning and came back to win 6-5 in extra innings. Frank Taylor walked and Karl Peters hit a two run home run to tie the score at 5-5. Cas sidy Martin got on, Stewart Blackburn got hit, and Jamie Silvester hit in Cassidy Martin for the game winning RBI. Frank Taylor was our game MVP for three strong innings pitched. The team was 1-2 for the Tournament Our coach has lined up a gruelling schedule this week with exhibition games with a home and away series with the Surrey Canadians on Tuesday and Wednesday; on Thursday the team faces Cloverdale at Parkside Park; Friday is a travel day to our Tournament in Vernon on July 14, 15, 16. The team is starting to come together and encourage our fans to come and support us when we play at home.

His first wife, and mother of their three children, was the late Avril Twidale. Dr. Twidale was married to Gordana in 1987. The Star apologizes for any embarrassment to tlie family caused by this omission. I 1—I 'Interest conflict' upsets councilor IW^UiW^WJU'--J! THE ALDERGROVE STAR,' JULY 12, J995~ 23 From fron l lar centre was built, he argued, but had it been instead a private commercial enterprise Burton et al may actually "be making some money." Burton, clearly angered at charges of interest conflict, lashed out at several delegates and the public at large for "the malicious whisper campaign that has now been going on for a couple of months." It came to a head this week when local realtor Cathy Klompas criticized the involvement of the two council members in the pro- Dreams of grandeur From front would-be politician, Jeremy Sutton, asked councillors if Murrayville perhaps was "meant to be the centre of Langley?" adding that he hoped local politicians had "more foresight than that." The move is clearly on for an amalgamation of the two Langleys, and although councillors on 'the Hill' no doubt have a genuine desire for such a move (with a newborn Langley's political centre, of course, at Murrayville, and themselves in control), their contemporaries down on the lowlands have different dreams. And meanwhile, the school district has just finished building a new Murrayville 'office tower' of which two floors, even with an expanded educational bureaucracy, remain empty. Perhaps "most taxpayers are stretched to the limit", but don't expect any sympathy from local political empire-builders. motion of the cultural centre. A mortgage deposited in the land registry lists the three Langley lawyers as directors of a holding company that has announced plans of constructing a large-size legal office building across the street from the chosen municipal site. Councillor McMullan is married to one of the principals and (he third one is John Campbell, who quit his job on council two years ago paving the way for political newcomer Burton. McMullan was not present at Monday's council meeting. But Burton said he had no intentions of excusing himself from involvement in tlie municipal project. It did not, he said, constitute conflict of interest which is "well defined in common law." He added that the value of the property owned by himself and his two partners had "already been inflated" by the time of purchase. System does change... ever so slowly From front Inthavong is a danger to the public, and that nothing has changed in that regard. "I take counsel's concerns over the letter, but it does show steps taken by immigration officials," she said. "It would appear the possibility of travel documents is forthcoming, which leads me to conclude sufficient efforts are being made. I am satisfied if released, Mr. Inthavong is likely to pose a danger to the public and I am not prepared to offer release." Fraser Valley West MP Randy White was at Uie hearing, along with Florence Evans, the Mother of Kirby Martin. Both were elated by the news. "I feel good about it," said Evans. "Randy really listened to the concerns of the community, and stood up for us." White claimed a victory in a system where winning doesn't come easily. "It's all about perseverance," he said. "People in the community have been at this for a long, long time and this shows that the system does change. "I was expecting that they would let him out today, but this was a rewarding mm of events for the whole community. People stood behind the issue and drew the line. He goes!

Farm-direct sales signs get grilled by councilors By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council wants more information in writing before they will allow directional signs to be placed on municipal property directing people to farms with direct sales operations. Klaus Berger president of the Fraser Valley Farm Direct Marketing Organization appeared before council to ask that signs which say 'B.C. Grown' and have an arrow and the name of the farm, be put up to direct people to the farms. The signs would be paid for by the farms in question with litde cost to the city. Are you a Cuban amigo? SURREY - Amigos de Cuba invites people to join a three week volunteer work brigade to Cuba on July 28. This is a humanitarian project combined with travel and friendship. Cost is $1,400. For information call 254-0663 or 599- 6436. For Romania ABBOTSFORD - A man who's cycling from Vancouver to Calgary has already raised $30,000 for the Body Shop's Childrens Home in Romania. "Arley's Ride for Romania" arrives at Sevenoaks mall this Sunday, and residents are invited to come by and support the cause. "At the Body Shop we believe in giving back to the community and helping those less fortunate in our local and global community," said Hilary Friesen, owner of Uie Body Shop in Abbotsford. "We hope everyone will come out to our event to have fun and help the children." Berger said that by enticing consumers out to the farms, they may be able to educate people and prove to children that milk comes from cows and not the back of a, Safeway store. Currently the Ministry of Transportation and Highways is allowing the signs to be put up on highways, but only for farms located direcUy on the highways. They will not put up signs that will get drivers lost or confused, which is why the city is being asked to allow follow-up directional signs. Council was concerned not only about the cost of the signs, but the fact that other operations may also want to put up signs attracting motorists to their location. Councillor Ken Funk said that council should not be getting involved in commercial ventures' and said that every business will be asking for signs should this proposal be approved. He suggested that a sign should be supplied for Safeway. MOTH also wants the sings to be put up by municipal staff, and the Director of Engineering, Ed Regts said that each sign, with a galvanized steel support pole, would cost between $75 and $100 to install. He also said that the proposal as presented is contrary to current municipal bylaws and signage bylaws. Councillor Wendy Lee, said that council cannot just make a snap decision, and made a motion to approve the signs in principle and asked for something in writing. After continued debate council approved the idea in principle. Opposed to the motion were Councillors Simon Gibson, Mark Warawa, Chuck Wiebe and Funk. Chilliwack council approved the signs on Monday morning. Me 0 0 0 a Big Brother! Why Notl 'ov The Aldergrove area is in urgent need of Big Brothers.

"The day may come when it's too late," philosophizes Coun. Stijve Ferguson. Councillors are split on whether or not they should send a new marriage proposal to Mayor Marlene Grinnell's office in the city. Some think it might still save the romance. Others believe they have been spurned for too long. "At this point in time (the initiative) has to come from the city," says Coun. Trudi Campen. She has decided to wait for the citizens of Langley city to bring some pressure to bear on their council. "It takes two to dance," says Coun.Steve Burton, adding that There's danger below By SCOTT HENLEY BURNABY - With the warmer months upon us, gardening and home improvements are taking centre stage in yards across the province. But if you don't know what's buried beneath your house, garage or garden, you take a risk every time you work around the yard. Consider the case of a Manitoba homeowner who decided to build a tiered flower"bet_r- using railway ties. As he drove a steel bar into the ground to hold a railway tie in place, he pierced a gas line. A few hours later, his house blew up. Today a vast network of underground pipes and cables exists in British Columbia to transport a variety of goods and services to homes and businesses throughout the province. Covering over 80,000 kilometres - which, if stretched end-to-end, would go around the earth twice - these facilities are out of sight and sometimes out of mind. But an accident which damages one of these facilities can have serious consequences, including loss of life, personal injury, environmental damage and disruption of essential services. And an accident can be caused just as easily by someone digging with a shovel as by a backhoe. Before you begin a project that requires any digging, minimize your risk of injury by following Uiese steps: •Plan your work. •Call BC One Call at 1-800- 474-6886 before you dig to find out, free of charge, what's buried beneath your site. •Hand expose any facilities. •Use safe work practices and procedures. The most important of these steps may be to call before you dig. BC One Call is a new nonprofit association established to minimize the risk of an accident to buried facilities such as gas pipelines, telecommunications cables, powerlines, electrical wires and sewer and sanitation systems. With one call to 1-800- 474-6886 you can find out what is lurking under your ground at no cost. Their member companies will contact you with information about the facilities beneath your site. It is your responsibility to contact companies who are not Viwwberewwi'bne Call. he agrees wholeheartedly with Campen. Township councillors have been informed by Municipal Affairs Minister Darlene Marzari that the provincial government won't force amalgamation on reluctant municipal officials. The initiative will have to come from the local level, Marzari says. Councillors here hope that recent developments, such as the amalgamation of first Sumas and Abbotsford, then Abbotsford and Matsqui, might induce other politicians to see the light. MURRAYVILLE - It was bound to happen, of course. Councillors here have just learned that the provincial government in Victoria intends to "claw back" fines levied by local authorities against traffic offenders. A few months ago, some unknown municipal politician had the brainstorm that since local . governments helped pay for the police, they might as well get in on the ticket-writing as well. It did not take long for Victoria to react. When the provincials discovered that someone was stepping on their turf, they decided to relieve the municipalities of the monies already collected and put an end to that business. Oh well, they tried. Meanwhile, local politicians are more than peeved with the federal government and the way the Chretien government is doling out grants under the 'Infrastructure Works' program. Langley officials have just received word from Ottawa via Victoria that there will be no grants, though badly needed, floating this way. "No water in Otter, but ice in Winnipeg," was Mayor John Scholtens' laconic comment, after he learned that there wouldn't be a red cent for Langley but that the feds had decided to sink infrastructure funds into the construc tion of an ice arena in Winnipeg. And the provincials, of course, are no better. Coun. Steve Burton mentioned . that he had just come back from a drive on Vancouver Island where the new Campbell River bypass is a marvel to behold. An estimated 5,000 cars drive it every day. In Langley, some 20,000 cars bottleneck into the 200 Street freeway overpass each and every day. , There have been no signs of intended improvement But, of course, the Grits did not elect any members west of the Rockies, and the Fraser Valley- Lower Mainland is hardly known as NDP country. ^:.
